Right-sizing of a maintenance organization

摘要

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I am asked, especially from those that are new to maintenance is: "How do I know that we are right-sized within our maintenance organization?" Many have tried to find a simple answer to this question. I myself have collected large amounts of data to find this simple answer. For example, number of motor drives, pumps or other common equipment within respective industries, in relation to the size of the maintenance workforce. Some believe that maintenance size should be based on estimated replacement value.
